Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 3 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Code Clone Detector.

  1. 01

    Identify near matches

    This capability finds code blocks that are highly similar but not exact duplicates. It's useful for catching logic that was slightly modified instead of being properly refactored.

  2. 02

    Identify exact duplicates

    This capability finds blocks of code that are structurally identical after normalization. It ignores superficial changes like whitespace or comments to find true duplicates.

  3. 03

    Generate normalized signature

    This capability provides a normalized, anonymized version of a code block. It strips away variable names and formatting to reveal the underlying logic structure.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Large Scale Refactoring

Use the MCP to find repeated patterns that can be extracted into a single shared function.

02

Technical Debt Audits

Run scans to see how much redundant code has accumulated in a legacy project.

03

Code Review Automation

Have your agent check new PRs for logic that already exists elsewhere in the repo.

04

Codebase Cleanup

Identify exact duplicates to shrink your total lines of code.

One connector, every AI

Code Clone Detector works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Code Clone Detector to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 3 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Code Clone Detector, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Code Clone Detector. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Code Clone Detector owners hand off.

Software engineers and architects who need to maintain clean, DRY codebases.

  • 01

    Backend Developers

    They use the MCP to find redundant business logic during refactoring cycles.

  • 02

    DevOps Engineers

    They use it to audit large repositories for consistency and technical debt.

  • 03

    Code Reviewers

    They use the capability to identify copy-pasted code that should have been abstracted.

FAQ

Questions Code Clone Detector owners ask.

  • 01

    How does it find duplicates if the variable names are different?

    The MCP uses a normalization process that anonymizes variables. This allows it to see the underlying structural similarity regardless of what the variables are named.

  • 02

    What AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    Does it look at comments when searching for duplicates?

    No, it strips comments and whitespace during the normalization process to focus strictly on the code logic.

  • 04

    What is the difference between exact and near matches?

    Exact matches are structurally identical after normalization. Near matches are code blocks that are highly similar but contain slight variations.

  • 05

    Do I need to host this myself?

    No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and start working.

  • 06

    How does the capability detect duplicates?

    It uses identify_exact_duplicates to find identical structures via hashing and identify_near_matches for similar blocks using Levenshtein distance.

  • 07

    Can I see the normalized version of my code?

    Yes, you can use the generate_normalized_signature capability to see how your code looks after stripping comments and renaming variables.

  • 08

    What is the similarity threshold?

    The default threshold for identify_near_matches is 0.8, but you can adjust it between 0 and 1.
